Hi Steve,
I did not pay attention for a while and now I see that since RHEL7.0 there
a major changes in NFSv4 recovery for a signal machine and for cluster
file system. Is there any write up on the changes like the use of
/var/lib/nfs/nfsdcltrack/main.sqlite, I see it being used in 7.0 but not
in 7.2. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Marc.

Thanks for the pointer Steve, I am not sure how much of the changes
considered RedHat and how much is Linux kernel changes so if another
mailing list is more appropriate please let me know. I now see on RHEL7.0
that /var/lib/nfs/nfsdcltrack/main.sqlite is updated as I open a file from
an NFS client, but going to RHEL7.2 that file is created but not updated
with a new client open. Did something change in this area between 7.0 and
7.2 ?
Marc.
